Welcome to Hello Friend! Welcome!! I would like to briefly introduce this site to you because Know the WORD.org is a very important site with a very important cause. The causes of the site: 1. We've been given a gift and we're obligated to share that same gift 2. We want you to know the real deal truth, the bottom line facts, knowledge and understanding on how to A. Get into Heaven for sure B. Enter into Heaven well with God's approval while being richly rewarded eternally 3. We want you to Know God and Jesus the Messiah, His Son, personally because: 1. It's the most awesome, powerful, rewarding, exciting, fulfilling and fun thing that there is to do on this planet. 2. It's the right thing to do since after all, They made you and have given you the opportunity for life now and the opportunity for an awesome life later! 3. It's a really bad idea to not know the LORD, the Father and Son. 4. We want you to stop making humans, religious organizations your 'teachers" because it's not right. You have only one Teacher and He is the Messiah, Jesus (" Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ." Matthew 23: 10) Religious organizations, parents, friends, siblings, pastors, preachers, priests... are not your Teachers, they are at best Teacher assistance or supplemental information sources (and they can be very helpful at times!). But your Teacher is Christ Jesus PERSONALLY. You get your teaching by reading the Word and reading the Word A LOT (which is why our volume reading plans work so well) which is also knowing the Word, who is Jesus while reading the instructions and commands of Jesus directly and... while receiving instruction through your fellowship ('hanging out, spending time with...') and prayer to Jesus, the Father directly, through direct communication with the Holy Spirit on your "insides" for those of you who have already been bornagain. (if you haven't been bornagain you need to get bornagain and fast! see this page BornAgain or this page Salvation Blueprint The number One purpose of this site is for you is to literally break through, break those shackles that bind your humanity, your soul, get past the misinformation, lies, ignorance and show you how to ultimately achieve permanent joy, happiness, everlasting wealth, everlasting friends - people who love you and whom you will love, and the love and approval of your Heavenly Father, your creator, your maker, your actual Father, the original Father and your Brother, the First Brother, the Son of God who is also God the Son through Whom you were made and without Him nothing was made. (John 1:1-3) Well, in summary of the previous paragraph: We've found a "secret", what seems like a secret in today's world, and that's "secret" is found in the Holy Judeo-Christian Bible. And you only get to the "secret" by reading the Word, over and over, getting to Know the WORD very well! If salvation - which is eternal life in Heaven by entering the family of God - comes from knowing the Father and Jesus Chris whom the Father has sent (John 17: 3) then you simply need to know the Father and Jesus. How do you do that? Fortunately, God has given us His Word in the Bible. If you have any doubts in that - and maybe someone told you something to make you doubt for whatever reason - you can simply prove the Bible and sense if it is real or not by reading the Bible! That's what I did folks! Back in the summer of 1995, after 26 years of being told that I'm 'not supposed to Believe the Bible, or take it 'literally' or that I'm 'not supposed to interpret the Bible on my own' (which sounded like a scam to me at the time and still does) I picked up the Bible and read the whole Bible THROUGH - from page one!
I figured 'gee, if this was one of the most important books of all time' and that it was known to be an authority on heaven and hell, the possibilities thereof, I needed to know that facts, I needed to read the Bible myself. So I did and I was STUNNED! I was SHOCKED to know that God had feelings and we could actually hurt His feelings! Then I was floored to find out that all I've been taught was WAY off from what the Bible was saying and my religion actually used parts of the Bible in it's services!! Ultimately I was SHAKEN up on the soul level - not just the hear/emotional level which can often be deceiving/deceived - but the SOUL LEVEL, the level from which you know right from wrong. Then I learned that I, you can communicate DIRECTLY with God Almighty and that it was a very good thing to do so because: " for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."" Rom 10:13 Yes! I cried out directly to God, my Maker one night and asked Him to show me "how to become one of His children" and He answered me! Then he did mini miracle after mini miracle for me on the personal level leading me to finally believe on Jesus with my heart to be bornagain and enter the family of God! It was AWESOME! (and once you're bornagain the Father and Son come into you, yes it's amazing!!, and you get the know the Lord from your insides! And He'll communicate with your as your reading the Bible unveiling it's powerful secrets layer by layer! You've gotta ask God for this if you haven't yet!! It's the most awesome experience I've ever had.) On the global scale... I feel that the world is suffering and lives are being ruined when they don't have to be. I feel that the foundation of global society can be strengthened if not rebuilt and made strong with: lives and souls saved, genuine prosperity abound, much greater happiness and joy, strong committed families in all countries - a drastic reduction in: poverty, disease, violence, hate, murder, sexual transgression, economic waste, fraud and crime in general...all through first learning and Knowing the WORD. The WORD of GOD in print and in Person as revealed in the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" Judeo Christian Bible. Ok. So I have an idea for a starting plan to literally 'save the world'. We have this plan, this idea to change the world by encouraging the peoples of the world to come to terms with their Maker NOW. Turn to God, the GOD that made them and the God who knocks, knocks and knocks on the 'door of our hearts'. I 'm talking about the GOD who made you and who has kept you alive to this very moment so we can pay attention to Him, join his Family, get to know Him, like Him and then love Him. You need to get into His Heavenly family so you can spend eternity with Him in love and worship of Him (He's is GOD and He did make you). And get this - I'm not trying to get you to join our church, our religion, nor do we want your money (although we will take your help). Our newsletter above is simply to help you learn the Bible. We give you our information, my "secrets" I've learned free of charge. We were given freely so we give to you. And if the LORD wants to reward us for anything we'll gladly take that reward! But the bottom line here is that we've been given a gift while being relieved from much suffering and blessed with joy and peace and many other things. There is no reason why you can't experience the same. We don't want to see you suffer, be in doubt, worry, be unhappy... You can be happy, at peace, spiritually rich with your needs met knowing that you'll be in Heaven with those who actually love you (vs. those who could care less and who may actually hate you). Plus wouldn't you rather have good and happy people around you too? If so then get with the program above, get bornagain through Christ and get it done now! Being bornagain in Jesus, has worked for a several hundred million people. If you play by the rules from the ONE who made the Rules you'll be able to succeed! BUT YOU are going to have to deal directly, one on One, with God your Maker, personally, talking directly to Him and asking Him your sincere questions. This is about you and Him, God your Maker. YOU must deal with Him, God your Maker, personally and a religious organization or religions leader can not do it for you. (Does that even make sense in terms of being with God for ever in heaven - is someone else going to go for you too? Would you have a proxy relationship with your spouse (meaning have someone else relate to your spouse for you while you go off doing whatever)? Your parents? Your children? Of course not! This is about you having an actual relationship with your Maker. It's really awesome if you think about it. But, as you learn the Word you'll find out that a relationship with you is exactly what He wants! This is so excellent!) I've searched for many, many years looking for God, studying most all of the globe's regions. I wanted to get right with God. I wasn't totally sure why at the time except that I certainly didn't want to miss out on God liking me and being in heaven. Plus I certainly didn't want to end up in Hell because I was too lazy to seek and find God! So I started this journey, actively from age 16 to 26. Then one fateful day... I decided to pick up the Bible. My life was turned upside down, or should I say right side up from that moment on... I was shocked, amazed and floored and terrified in a fantastic way! I became super excited! Excited maybe in a similar to a treasure hunter who found a hidden $100 million dollar stash of gold and gems! My sense were on FIRE and I pursued the Bible all the way to the point where I cried out, like literally, to God and said: "God, I know deep down inside I'm not right with you and I've made a ton of mistakes. But I can't be superficial or polite any more. I need to ask you directly, I need to know now: AM I ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN!??" At that moment, one of the most amazing moments in my life, I got an answer! It was like a really strong internal impression that wasn't necessarily a voice you hear outside with your ears but I very clearly, understood the message on my insides. And the answer was: "No... But..." So IMMEDIATELY I latched on to the "But.." and responded in total shock and awe, but directly "I will do WHATEVER it takes to become one of your children to be with you in Heaven. I don't care whatever I have to do God I will do it." After that all I got back was a feeling of a big smile and a feeling that something special was about to happen. That day begun my 2 month journey from which my God, my Maker revealed Himself to me. It was the most amazing time of my life, completely, utterly amazing to every molecule of my being... And finally, at the end of this three month journey I was given a Key to the house of the family of God and was finally shown, revealed to me from the outside and on my insides at the same time how to become a child of God, to join the family of God and be with Him for ever in Heaven! From that moment on my life was changed dramatically! Plus I knew that I knew from the deep sense of knowing that I found what I was looking for: Salvation to join the family of God now and after I die through what God did for me by Sending Jesus, God the Son to become a sacrifice for me so I can be covered and then become more like Him: excellent, righteous, perfect, good and someone worthy of spending and able to be a person worthy of spending thousands and thousands of lifetimes with in Heaven. Besides would you want to be with someone for an eternity if they don't know you, care for you, like you, love you? Would you want to be around someone who uses you, is thankless to you, ignores you and could care less about if you even existed? Think about it that way. I sure wouldn't!! And all of this started by me starting to read from page ONE of the Bible. I HIGHLY suggest you do the same.

God the Father Your Maker Grants You Access to Jesus to Be Saved
Posted on 28. Apr, 2012 by admin.
You may have heard the verses saying by Jesus “No one can come to me unless the Father draws him” (him=him/her). Well what does that mean exactly?
Here are the verses: John 6: 43-45 (NKJV)
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
From my own person experience I found that I indeed had to go to the Father who actually had to grant me access, or the ability to really believe in Jesus:
- I started worrying about death, what exactly happens after you die and if there was a heaven and hell, actually, factually and truly I certainly did not want to go to hell and I definitely wanted to get into heaven! I studied most all religions for years and then I finally read the Bible, starting page one.
- After reading the Bible I realized I was in trouble, even though I grew up in a Christian based religion.
- I directly, sincerely and seriously prayed to “God, my maker” for help and I asked Him if I could be part of His family in Heaven
- All of a sudden I started getting answers to my questions about heaven and how things worked. People started telling me about Jesus from all angles – from off the streets, in my class rooms, at social events and even my roommate all of a sudden! (I was in college at the time)
- I found my self going to a Bible believing preaching church
- I soon asked the pastor to explain all of this ‘salvation stuff’ he was talking about
- He showed me “Romans Road” Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23 Romans 5:8 Romans 10:13 Romans 10:9,10 and something sparked inside of me at the moment, beyond just my heart and mind and I was able to believe on Jesus for real and confess that He is Lord, God the Son of God the Father.
So I had to go to the Father FIRST who then enabled me to believe in Jesus. So my own personal experience confirms what Jesus is saying right here: John 6: 43-45 (NKJV) I don’t say this because Jesus needs any help from me, of course, but maybe you could gain some understanding from my own experience with God drawing me to Jesus. Try it. It works! If you’re not ‘feeling it’ do it anyways – beg God to get into His family in heaven and become one of His children!
It will be the best thing you’ll ever do – for now and forever! And I speak from experience.

It just “dawned” on me what Peter’s famous verses actually meant for us to do in order to enter Heaven well. Be thankful we have such a step by step blueprint success plan. Entering Heaven well after you’ve been born again is a BIG deal. Eternity is a long time and you don’t want to enter poorly and be thought of or be in a mediocre position – for eternity, forever. Think about it…
Here are the verses:
2 Peter 1:5-11
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (NKJ) Click here for the rest and for other Bible versions
The Plan – Based on understanding given to me on this day:
- Your faith is your genuine born again conversion by believing and receiving Jesus. You have to have that down or you’re totally hosed, you’re going to hell and not to heaven. So you need to get into heaven first ( see the 12 steps to eternal life pdf) Ask God the Father, your Maker, seriously and strongly to show you how to get into heaven and He will allow you, give you the power to believe in Jesus.
- “Add Virtue/Goodness” – being good in many ways is being in the habit of doing good things. You need to remove bad habits and replace them with good habits. You also need to simply add good habits. So make a list of good habits you’d like to add. A habit is something you force your self to do for about a month, then it becomes automatic.Maybe think of adding one good habit a month. That could work out very well. Just imagine how powerfully good you’ll become in one year!Habit ideas: Spend an hour a day with God reading and praying. Witness to one person a week. Post an article once a week online in a blog about your experience in Christ. Volunteer at Church once a month. Start going to a fellowship group every week. Say please and thank you. Identify a mean reaction and turn that mean reaction into a kind reaction…
- Add knowledge. Do the Read the Bible 3 times in one year or Read the Bible 5 Times in one year Bible reading plans with the Bible Reading System!
- Add self control – develop it as a muscle, kinda as you have to develop will power or your cardio fitness duration, or your bicep curl strength…How? Identify weak habits, embarrassing things you do, bad eating habits, smoking, bad drinking habits, not flossing, road rage, lusting with the eyes etc… etc… and use your will power, exercise self control and make your self control stronger and stronger while creating new good habits in place of these bad ones.
Of course you and I know (well you will learn if not) that you can’t route out your sin nature. ONLY by actively abiding, walking, drawing near, fellow shipping in Jesus can you overcome your sin nature. But you can exorcise discipline and replace sin habits, as already commanded by the Lord in His Word – and you will need will power for around a month before something can become not a habit and a new thing can become a habit.
- Add perseverance: this means be encourage to keep trying although your will power muscles have gotten tired – persevere until you have a new habit, a new habit of not doing something bad and a new habit of doing something good.
- Add Godliness: What’s Godliness ? It’s being Godly, like God, Jesus. Model and copy Jesus. Make Jesus your hero and aspire to be like Him. Remember the “what would Jesus do” slogan? Well if you really think about it, lets take that a step further by reading the Bible, particularly the New Testament over and over you get to know the Lord, the Character and Essence of the Lord (through praying as well) – so you start acting as He acted. BE Holy, pure, powerful. You’ll need to do a little acting of course but some of your acting will rub off as a habit, and being like God in character and behavior is a very good thing. (this is with understanding of being like His Character, not necessarily unlimited power to create a planet at a thought etc… just to clarify:)
- Add brotherly kindness. Yes brothers and sisters – we’re all considered brothers as women are men if you take out the ‘wo’ meaning that we are homo sapiens, humans, people. So let’s just clarify that right here. Males and females we are all “brothers” in Christ.
So let’s start making new habits to especially show kindness, extra goodness to those who are brothers(sisters) in Christ. Never treat a brother in Christ as she or he is trivial! I see a lot of bad habits these days. I see very little extra kindness between the brothers in Christ these days. Watch out! This all goes on your eternal record! We should be ashamed of ourselves for not being kind and supporting our brothers(sisters) in Christ if that is the case. Get on the ball and start making the extra effort. If you don’t support your own kind, your own people, sheep in Christ, who else will??!!!
- Love. The body in Christ today, that I know, needs to be taught that Scriptural love in this case is a VERB. DO. LOVE. Do Love. Show heart. Do something kind. Change your heart disposition towards someone. Take action. Read the Five Love Languages . 1. kind encouraging words. 2. physical touch (i.e. a pat on the back, hug) 3. acts of service 4. gifts 5. spend quality time. Use one of these 5 ways to communicate love.
GIVE love and don’t worry about a return. (Don’t worry you’ll be adding up massive amounts of love, treasure in heaven and love often tends to reciprocate in a big way back here on earth, doesn’t it, in its own time – so don’t expect an instant return (especially you married couples) but trust and know it can be returned, manyfold…). Actively love the brothers(sisters) in Christ. Go out and DO. Make love a habit.
Bingo! Now you have a success formula as given through Peter to enter heaven well – a big massive deal for us – so pay attention
Proof: 2 Peter 1:10 “Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ”
I hope you can find some encouragement in this article. Entering heaven well has been heavily on my mind and heart, especially as I get older. Time seems to be speeding up. It’s imperitive to take action now and develop these new success habits as Peter outlines. Thanks and praise to the Lord for them!
Be well in Christ,
Brother Chris

There are so many Bible versions. Sometimes it’s hard to know which one to study. Is there one version that is better than the other versions? Are they all the Word of God? Will any of the versions mislead a person? Will any of these versions help me understand more about God? There are so many questions about the Bible versions.
First, when considering the Bible versions, it is important to know that the books of the Old Testament, which are Genesis through Malachi and the books of the New Testament, which are Matthew through Revelation, are authorized by God as God’s holy word. Whichever version that you use, if you are reading the books of the Old or New Testament, those are the books in the cannon. Those books are the Word of God. If you are reading the Bible, seeking God’s face, the Holy Spirit will teach you.
1 Corinthians 2:7-13 says, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man, which is in him, even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
What is the difference between the Bible versions then? Well, there are two different types of translations of the Bible versions: dynamic and literal. The Bible versions based on dynamic translation are easier to read. However, dynamic translation does not translate word or word exactly what is written in the original text. It just tries to use modern words that capture the meaning of the original text. This means that inconspicuous nuances or connotations that were inferred in the original language may be missed. This is okay if you need something easy to read, but it is not as good if you want serious Bible study. The Bible versions based on literal translations are better for serious Bible study. Some of the Bible versions based on literal translations are the Holman Christian Standard, the New American Standard Version, the New King James Version, and of course, the King James Version.
These are just some of the Bible versions that are in English today. There are so many of the Bible versions that are great for studying the Word of God.

The Bible, The Message is a casual version paraphrase interpretation of the Word of God.
The Bible, The Message begins with the fact that God existed before anything else. God created everything that is. The Bible, the message is also the fact that God created man in His own image. It is the fact that God delivers His people. It is the fact that God is all powerful, just, merciful, loving, righteous, holy, longsuffering, and much more. When Isaiah and Ezekial had visions of God, they described God’s glory as being like the bow that is in the clouds after the rain. He was described as being so holy, that a man considered holy, like Isaiah, would cry out that he is a man of “unclean lips”. His love is eternal and longsuffering. Words cannot begin to describe God. Most importantly, God exists. He is real. This is the Bible, the message that we need to hear to know the truth.
The Bible, the message shows us that the things that we do wrong separate us from God. As we choose to do things our way, we form gods in our minds that we can use to justify our sins. We think, I don’t think that God really feels this way, or I don’t think that God would really do that. We think, I’m sure that God understands. Then we justify the things that we do wrong with the false gods that we have set up in our minds. The Bible, the message shows us that we are powerless to make the right decisions. It is like being chained up. We are not free. It also shows us that we do not seek after God until He has revealed Himself to us.
The Bible, the message is that God sent His one and only begotten Son to die on the cross and come back to life again. It tells us that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the penalty for the wrong things that we do so that we can be reconciled to God. It reveals that when we are reconciled to God, we are adopted into His family. Jesus came and died so that He could share what He has with us.
The Bible, the message shows us that when we are reconciled to God, we are freed from the bondage of sin. We are given liberty by the grace of God through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ that He shed on the cross for our sins. We become like a new person. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things become new.” We have a new outlook on life. We have a new view of right and wrong. We have a new life. Pretty awesome, huh?
The Bible, the Message tells us that Jesus, Himself, is getting a place ready for us in God’s home, where there is room for everyone. It tells us that Heaven is a place where we will see God face to face. It tells us that Heaven is a place where there is no pain or suffering. The Bible, the Message tells us that Heaven is a place where there is no temptation. The Bible, the Message is life and truth.
